Price quality sound and features are excellent.

This has everything I need to crank up my guitar without disturbing the neighborhood. Two plug types, removable cords-yes TWO cords! One curly, one straight. Nice bag to store it. Sounds great. Not the most extreme range of signals but I doubt I can tell the difference on a much better - and much more expensive set.

I Prefer to Friends

I had Sony & Audio Technica M-40 Fs for many years. I used for my home recording studio. I was expecting to get new one and I checked online and I decided to buy it from SweetWater.
Mr Charles Cummings was follow up with my order very kindly. I appreciate for his excellent customer service .

ATH-M40x fits my studio sound

I originally purchased the ATH-M20x because of the price and reviews. Initially, I was not able to A/B the sound quality with other headphones. While waiting for delivery, I finally got the chance to listen to both the M20 vs the M40. I was impressed with the M20x but the M40x had a more responsive sound across the frequencies, which suited my sound envelope. I returned the M20 and got the M40. Big price difference but it had more of what I required from the headphone through my gear.

Bought my first set six years ago and am replacing them today

I bought my Audio-Technica ATH-M40x headphones in February of 2017 or so. During that time, I have replaced the earpads because they got gross after many years and the cable because the straight cable was cut in an accident: both being replaceable parts. The headphones themselves finally gave up recently after being dropped on carpet hundreds of times, and they were good enough that I am buying another set today (for $ more than the $ I paid in 2017...the joys of inflation).
